This camp was built in 1815 during the War of 1812 as Fort Pike and was constructed as an earthworks fortification with a blockhouse. Portions of the original Fort Pike earthworks remain.
During World War I, Madison Barracks was known as a hospital post and a number of temporary structures were built to support that function. In World War II, Madison Barracks was a training post with a capacity of over 1000 men.
